# Zhydachiv

A settlement in Ukraine; local name Жидачів.

## English name

**Zhydachiv** — Current Ukrainian name in the national romanization adopted in 2010, recommended by the UN in 2012 and adopted by BGN/PCGN in 2019. BGN/PCGN Ukrainian system (1965), superseded for US/UK geographical naming by the 2019 agreement gives the same spelling here.

Other forms in use:

- **Zhidachov** — Russian-based English form; useful for Soviet-era and Russian-language-derived references, rather than the preferred Ukrainian name.
- **Żydaczów** — Polish historical name used in English historical and genealogical references to this place.
- **Zidichov** — Yiddish-derived spelling used in Jewish historical or genealogical references; not the modern civic name.
- **Zhydachov** — Older Ukrainian-based English spelling, mixing Ukrainian h with the historical final -ov.
- **Jydatchiv** — French-language form, useful when an English text quotes a French map, report or source title; not the English main name.
- **Židačìv** — ISO 9:1995 character transliteration; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Z͡hydachiv** — ALA-LC Ukrainian table (2011 edition), for bibliographic retrieval; standard-derived spelling, with medium confidence in actual textual occurrence, not an independently attested press exonym.
- **Жидачів** — Original Ukrainian spelling for matching local source titles or addresses quoted in English.
- **Zydaczow** — Diacritic-free typing or indexing variant of Żydaczów for English retrieval; not a distinct official name. Textual frequency is unverified.
